AT&T / Cingular are still selling plans nationwide to people and telling them they get reception in rural areas. I bought my Phone in Las vegas, and moved to Rural Virginia. They assured me that I would get reception in the ZIP code 23976 so long as I had the nationwide plan. Then signed me to a two Yr contract. This is far from the truth. I have reception towards Farmville about 4 miles out of Keyesville to the North. And to the South, just outside of Clarksville. Heading East I start to get reception aproaching Hwy. 58, but very weak. Going West Brookneal! Do not waste your money on Cingular! After they rope you in, they will not negotiate your release!
